1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

AMG Funds III (the “Trust”) is an open-end management investment company, organized as a Massachusetts business trust, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trust consists of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report is AMG Veritas Asia Pacific Fund (the “Fund”).

The Fund offers Class N and Class I shares. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the Fund. Although all share classes generally have identical voting rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes may have different net asset values per share to the extent the share classes pay different distribution amounts and/or the expenses of such share classes differ. Each share class has its own expense structure. Please refer to a current prospectus for additional information on each share class.

The Fund is non-diversified.

The Fund’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), including accounting and reporting guidance pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements:

a. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Equity securities traded on a national securities exchange or reported on the NASDAQ national market system (“NMS”) are valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, if applicable, the NASDAQ official closing price or the official closing price of the relevant exchange or, lacking any sales, at the last quoted bid price. Equity securities held by the Fund that are traded in the over-the-counter market (other than NMS securities) are valued at the bid price. Foreign equity securities (securities principally traded in markets other than U.S. markets) held by the Fund are valued at the official closing price on the primary exchange or, for markets that either do not offer an official closing price or where the official closing price may not be representative of the overall market, the last quoted sale price.

Fixed income securities purchased with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost value is approximately the same as the fair value of the security valued without the use of amortized cost. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share.

Participation notes (“P-Notes”) are valued using the underlying equity security’s official closing price on the primary exchange or, for markets that either do not offer an official closing price or where the official closing price may not be representative of the overall market, the last quoted sale price.

The Fund’s portfolio investments are generally valued based on independent market quotations or prices or, if none, “evaluative” or other market based

valuations provided by third party pricing services. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act, the Fund’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) designated AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) as the Fund’s Valuation Designee to perform the Fund’s fair value determinations. Such determinations are subject to Board oversight and certain reporting and other requirements intended to ensure that the Board receives the information it needs to oversee the Investment Manager’s fair value determinations.

Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund portfolio investments may be based on an evaluation of fair value, pursuant to procedures established by the Investment Manager and under the general supervision of the Board. The Fund may use the fair value of a portfolio investment to calculate its net asset value (“NAV”) in the event that the market quotation, price or market based valuation for the portfolio investment is not readily available or otherwise not determinable pursuant to the Fund’s valuation procedures, if the Investment Manager believes the quotation, price or market based valuation to be unreliable, or in certain other circumstances. When determining the fair value of an investment, the Investment Manager seeks to determine the price that the Fund might reasonably expect to receive from current sale of that portfolio investment in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon consideration of all available facts and information, including, but not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) fundamental and analytical data relating to the investment; and (iii) the value of other comparable securities or relevant financial instruments, including derivative securities, traded on other markets or among dealers.

The values assigned to fair value portfolio investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized in the future, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. The Board will be presented with quarterly reports, as of the most recent quarter end, summarizing all fair value activity, material fair value matters that occurred during the quarter, and all outstanding securities fair valued by the Fund. Additionally, the Board will be presented with an annual report that assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of the Investment Manager’s process for determining the fair value of the Fund’s investments.

With respect to foreign equity securities and certain foreign fixed income securities, securities held in the Fund that can be fair valued by the applicable fair value pricing service are fair valued on each business day provided that each individual price exceeds a pre-established confidence level.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Fund. Unobservable inputs reflect the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

 

 

 

10


    

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

   

 

     

 

 

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies)

Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, forward foreign currency exchange contracts, P-Notes, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, fair valued securities with observable inputs)

Level 3 – inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs)

Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in a transfer in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may not necessarily be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

b. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS

Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

c. INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES

Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividends from foreign securities are recorded on the ex-dividend date, and if after the fact, as soon as the Fund becomes aware of the ex-dividend date, except for Korean securities where dividends are recorded on confirmation date. Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Dividend and interest income on foreign securities is recorded gross of any withholding tax. Non-cash dividends included in dividend income, if any, are reported at the fair market value of the securities received. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to the Fund are apportioned among the funds in the Trust and other trusts or funds within the AMG Funds Family of Funds (collectively, the “AMG Funds Family”) based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of the Fund, and certain fund level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of the Fund.

d. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Fund distributions resulting from either net investment income or realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in December. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.

g. CAPITAL STOCK

Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax law, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Permanent differences are due to basis allocations arising from corporate spin-off transactions. Temporary differences for the Fund are due to spin-offs treated as income for tax purposes, mark to market on passive foreign investment companies, wash sale loss deferrals and basis allocations arising from corporate spin-off transactions.

At June 30, 2026, the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes approximates the aggregate cost for book purposes. The approximate cost of investments and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

 

 Cost   Appreciation     Depreciation     Net Appreciation  
 $102,725,436     $43,888,534       $(1,742,093)       $42,146,441  

e. FEDERAL TAXES

The Fund currently qualifies as an investment company and intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies. The Investment Manager has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (generally, the three prior taxable years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements. Additionally, the Investment Manager is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefit/detriment will change materially in the next twelve months.

Furthermore, based on the Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it invests, the Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.

f. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS AND DEFERRALS

As of December 31, 2025, the Fund had capital loss carryovers for federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term.

 

 Short-Term

       Long-Term           Total

 $26,344,897

      $ 12,960,111         $39,305,008

 

 

The Trust’s Declaration of Trust authorizes for the Fund the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. The Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date.

h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Fund may enter into third-party and bilateral repurchase agreements for temporary cash management purposes and for reinvestment of cash collateral on securities lending transactions under the securities lending program offered by The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) (the “Securities Lending Program”) (collectively, “Repurchase Agreements”). The value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, must equal or exceed the value of the Repurchase Agreements during the term of the agreement. For joint repurchase agreements, the Fund participates on a pro rata basis with other clients of BNYM in its share of the underlying collateral under such joint repurchase agreements and in its share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of the underlying collateral. The underlying collateral for all Repurchase Agreements is held by the Fund’s custodian or at the Federal Reserve Bank. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings commence with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Fund may be delayed or limited. Pursuant to the Securities Lending Program, the Fund is indemnified for such losses by BNYM on joint repurchase agreements.

At June 30, 2026, the Fund had no Repurchase Agreements outstanding.

i. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. Dollars. The value of investments, assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than U.S. Dollars are translated into U.S. Dollars based upon current foreign exchange rates. Purchases and sales of foreign investments, income and expenses are converted into U.S. Dollars based on currency exchange rates prevailing on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) on foreign currency transactions represent: (1) foreign exchange gains and losses from the sale and holdings of foreign currencies; (2) gains and losses between trade date and settlement date on investment securities transactions and foreign currency exchange contracts; and (3) gains and losses from the difference between amounts of interest and dividends recorded and the amounts actually received.

The Fund does not isolate the net realized and unrealized gain or loss resulting from changes in exchange rates from the fluctuations in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investments.

2. AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

The Trust has entered into an investment advisory agreement under which the Investment Manager, a subsidiary and the U.S. wealth platform of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as investment manager to the Fund and is responsible for the Fund’s overall administration and operations. The Investment Manager selects and recommends, subject to the approval of the Board and, in certain circumstances, shareholders, the subadviser for the Fund and monitors the subadviser’s investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. The Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by Veritas Asset Management LLP (“Veritas”) who serves as subadviser pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager. AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in Veritas.

Investment management fees are paid directly by the Fund to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Fund paid an investment management fee at the annual rate of 0.71% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.

The fee paid to Veritas for its services as subadviser is paid out of the fee the Investment Manager receives from the Fund and does not increase the expenses of the Fund.

The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2027, to waive management fees and/or pay or reimburse fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts, and in connection with securities sold short), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, dividends payable with respect to securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) to the annual rate of 0.93% of the Fund’s average daily net assets (this annual rate or such other annual rate that may be in effect from time

to time, the “Expense Cap”), subject to later reimbursement by the Fund in certain circumstances.

In general, for a period of up to 36 months after the date any amounts are paid, waived or reimbursed by the Investment Manager, the Investment Manager may recover such amounts from the Fund, provided that such repayment would not cause the Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of the items noted in the parenthetical above) to exceed either (i) the Expense Cap in effect at the time such amounts were paid, waived or reimbursed, or (ii) the Expense Cap in effect at the time of such repayment by the Fund.

The contractual expense limitation may only be terminated in the event the Investment Manager or a successor ceases to be the investment manager of the Fund or a successor fund, by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Board, or in the event of the Fund’s liquidation unless the Fund is reorganized or is a party to a merger in which the surviving entity is successor to the accounting and performance information of the Fund.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Investment Manager reimbursed the Fund $73,789, and did not recoup any previously reimbursed expenses. At June 30, 2026, the Fund’s expiration of reimbursements subject to recoupment was as follows:

The Trust, on behalf of the Fund, has entered into an amended and restated Administration Agreement under which the Investment Manager serves as the Fund’s administrator (the “Administrator”) and is responsible for certain aspects of managing the Fund’s operations, including administration and shareholder services to the Fund. The Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.15% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets for this service.

The Fund is distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. The Distributor serves as the distributor and underwriter for the Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Shares of the Fund will be continuously offered and will be sold directly to prospective purchasers and through brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with the Distributor. Generally, the Distributor bears all or a portion of the expenses of providing services pursuant to the distribution agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature.

For Class N shares, the Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses (“shareholder servicing fees”) incurred. Shareholder servicing fees include payments to financial intermediaries, such as broker-dealers (including fund supermarket platforms), banks, and trust companies who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. The Class N shares may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of the

Class’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below.

The impact on the annualized expense ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was as follows:

 

     Maximum Annual
Amount
Approved
     Actual 
Amount

 Class N

     0.25%        0.24%  

The Board provides supervision of the affairs of the Trust and other trusts within the AMG Funds Family. The Trustees of the Trust who are not affiliated with the Investment Manager receive an annual retainer and per meeting fees for regular, special and telephonic meetings, and they are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred while carrying out their duties as Board members. The Chairman of the Board and the Audit Committee Chair receive additional annual retainers. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Fund are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) granted an exemptive order that permits certain eligible funds in the AMG Funds Family to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible funds in the AMG Funds Family. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both the borrowing and lending funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each participating fund. The Administrator manages the program according to procedures approved by the Board, and the Board monitors the operation of the program. An interfund loan must comply with certain conditions set out in the exemptive order, which are designed to assure fairness and protect all participating funds. The interest earned and interest paid on interfund loans are included on the Statement of Operations as interest income and interest expense, respectively. At June 30, 2026, the Fund had no interfund loans outstanding.

The Fund utilized the interfund lending program during the six months ended June 30, 2026 as follows:

3. PURCHASES AND SALES OF SECURITIES

Purchases and sales of securities (excluding short-term securities and U.S. Government Obligations) for the six months ended June 30, 2026, were $133,833,508 and $153,164,725, respectively.

The Fund had no purchases or sales of U.S. Government Obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED

The Fund participates in the Securities Lending Program providing for the lending of securities to qualified borrowers. Securities lending income includes earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate to a borrower. These earnings (after any rebate) are then divided between BNYM, as a fee for its services under the Securities Lending Program, and the Fund, according to

 

 

 

13


    

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

   

 

     

 

 

agreed-upon rates. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash, U.S. Treasury Obligations or U.S. Government Agency Obligations. Collateral is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105% in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Under the terms of the Securities Lending Program, the Fund is indemnified for such losses by BNYM. Cash collateral is held in separate omnibus accounts managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into joint repurchase agreements for that cash collateral. Securities collateral is held in separate omnibus accounts managed by BNYM and cannot be sold or pledged. BNYM bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the cash collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities as soon as practical, which is normally within three business days.

The value of securities loaned on positions held, cash collateral and securities collateral received at June 30, 2026, was as follows:

5. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Fund operates through a single operating and reporting segment to achieve its investment objective as reflected in the Fund’s prospectus. The Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) are the Fund’s president and chief financial officer. The CODM assesses the performance and makes operating decisions for the Fund primarily based on the Fund’s changes in net assets resulting from operations. In addition to other factors and metrics, the CODM utilizes the Fund’s net assets, total return, and ratios of net and gross expenses to average net assets as key metrics in reviewing the performance of the Fund. As the Fund’s operations comprise a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Total assets” and the significant segment expenses are listed on the Statement of Operations.

6. FUND RISKS

In the normal course of business, the Fund invests in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Fund to various risks. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social

instability; or (iii) currency and price fluctuations. Please refer to the Fund’s current prospectus for additional information about the Fund’s principal risks.

Market Risk: Market prices of investments held by the Fund may fall rapidly or unpredictably due to a variety of factors, including economic or market conditions, or other factors including terrorism, war, natural disasters and the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, including epidemics or pandemics, or in response to events that affect particular industries or companies. In addition, unexpected political, regulatory, trade and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree.

Management Risk: Because the Fund is an actively managed investment portfolio, security selection or focus on securities in a particular style, market sector or group of companies may cause the Fund to incur losses or underperform relative to its benchmarks or other funds with a similar investment objective. There can be no guarantee that Veritas’s investment techniques and risk analysis will produce the desired result.

Focused Investment Risk: To the extent the Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in a relatively small number of securities or a particular market, industry, group of industries, country, region, group of countries, asset class or sector, it generally will be subject to greater risk than a fund that invests in a more diverse investment portfolio. In addition, the value of the Fund would be more susceptible to any single economic, market, political or regulatory occurrence affecting, for example, that particular market, industry, region or sector.

Foreign Investment Risk: Investments in foreign issuers involve additional risks (such as risks arising from less frequent trading, changes in political or social conditions, and less publicly available information about non-U.S. issuers) that differ from those associated with investments in U.S. issuers and may result in greater price volatility.

Geographic Focus Risk: To the extent the Fund focuses its investments in a particular country, group of countries or geographic region, the Fund is particularly susceptible to economic, political, regulatory or other events or conditions affecting such countries or region, and the Fund’s NAV may be more volatile than the NAV of a more geographically diversified fund and may result in losses.

Risks Associated with Investments in Greater China: The Fund is particularly susceptible to risks in the Greater China region, which consists of Hong Kong, The People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) and Taiwan, among other countries. Economies in the Greater China region are dependent on the economies of other countries and can be significantly affected by currency fluctuations and increasing competition from other emerging economies in Asia with lower costs. Adverse events in any one country within the region may impact the other countries in the region or Asia as a whole. Markets in the Greater China region can experience significant volatility due to social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. Significant portions of the Chinese securities markets may become rapidly illiquid, as Chinese issuers have the ability to suspend the trading of their equity securities, and have shown a willingness to exercise that option in response to market volatility and other events. U.S. or foreign government sanctions or other investment restrictions or intervention could negatively affect the implementation of the Fund’s investment strategies, for example by precluding the Fund from making certain investments or causing the Fund to sell investments at disadvantageous times. China has yet to develop comprehensive securities,

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

   

 

     

 

 

corporate, or commercial laws, its market is relatively new and less developed, and its economy may be adversely impacted by a slowdown in export growth.

Risks Associated with Investments in South Korea: Investments in South Korean issuers will subject the Fund to legal, regulatory, political, currency, security, and economic risks that are specific to South Korea. In addition, economic and political developments of South Korea’s neighbors, including escalated tensions involving North Korea and any outbreak of hostilities involving North Korea, or the threat of an outbreak of such hostilities, may have a severe adverse effect on the South Korean economy. The South Korean economy is reliant on trading exports, and disruptions or decreases in trade activity could lead to declines in South Korea’s economic growth potential.

Currency Risk: Fluctuations in exchange rates may affect the total loss or gain on a non-U.S. dollar investment when converted back to U.S. dollars and exposure to non-U.S. currencies may subject the Fund to the risk that those currencies will decline in value relative to the U.S. dollar.

Emerging Markets Risk: Investments in emerging markets are subject to the general risks of foreign investments, as well as additional risks which can result in greater price volatility. Such additional risks include the risk that markets in emerging market countries are typically less developed and less liquid than markets in developed countries and such markets are subjected to increased economic, political, or regulatory uncertainties.

High Cash Balance Risk: When the Fund has a significant cash balance for a sustained period, the benefit to the Fund of any market upswing may likely be reduced, and the Fund’s performance may be adversely affected.

Large-Capitalization Stock Risk: The stocks of large capitalization companies are generally more mature and may not be able to reach the same levels of growth as the stocks of small- or mid-capitalization companies.

Liquidity Risk: The Fund may not be able to dispose of particular investments, such as illiquid securities, readily at favorable times or prices or the Fund may have to sell them at a loss.

Non-Diversified Fund Risk: The Fund is non-diversified and therefore a greater percentage of holdings may be focused in a small number of issuers or a single issuer, which can place the Fund at greater risk. Notwithstanding the Fund’s status as a “non-diversified” investment company under the 1940 Act, the Fund intends to qualify each year as a regulated investment company accorded favorable tax treatment under the Code, which imposes its own diversification requirements that are less restrictive than the requirements applicable to “diversified” investment companies under the 1940 Act. The Fund’s intention to qualify as a regulated investment company may limit its pursuit of its investment strategy and its investment strategy could limit its ability to so qualify.

Participatory Notes Risk: An investment in participatory notes is subject to market risk. The performance results of participatory notes may not exactly replicate the performance of the underlying securities. An investment in participatory notes is also subject to counterparty risk, relating to the non-U.S. bank or broker-dealer that issues the participatory notes, and may be subject to liquidity risk.

8. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS

Political Risk: Changes in the general political and social environment of a country can have substantial effects on the value of investments exposed to that country.

PRC Tax Risk: The application of the tax laws and regulations of the PRC to income, including capital gains, derived from certain investments of the Fund remains unclear, and may well continue to evolve, possibly with retroactive effect. Any taxes imposed on the investments of the Fund pursuant to such laws and regulations will reduce the Fund’s overall returns.

Sector Risk: Issuers and companies that are in similar industry sectors may be similarly affected by particular economic or market events; to the extent the Fund has substantial holdings within a particular sector, the risks associated with that sector increase.

Small- and Mid-Capitalization Stock Risk: The stocks of small- and mid-capitalization companies often have greater price volatility, lower trading volume, and less liquidity than the stocks of larger, more established companies.

Stock Connect Risk: Trading in China A-Shares through Stock Connect is subject to sudden changes in quota limitations, application of trading suspensions, differences in trading days between the PRC and Stock Connect, operational risk, clearing and settlement risk and regulatory and taxation risk.

Value Stock Risk: Value stocks may perform differently from the market as a whole and may be undervalued by the market for a long period of time.

Variable Interest Entity Risk: The Fund may gain investment exposure to certain Chinese companies through variable interest entity (“VIE”) structures. A VIE structure enables foreign investors, such as the Fund, to obtain investment exposure to a Chinese company in situations in which the Chinese government has limited or prohibited non-Chinese ownership of such company. A VIE does not have equity ownership in its corresponding China-based company but has claims to the China-based company’s profits and control of its assets through contractual arrangements. VIEs are a common industry practice and well known to officials and regulators in China; however, VIEs are not formally recognized under Chinese law. If the Chinese government takes action adversely affecting VIEs, the market value of the Fund’s associated portfolio holdings would likely suffer significant, detrimental, and possibly permanent consequences, which could result in substantial investment losses.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, its Trustees and Officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trust. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Fund under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Fund had no prior claims or losses and expects the risks of loss to be remote.

 

 

The Fund may enter into master netting agreements with its counterparties for the Securities Lending Program and Repurchase Agreements, which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request

additional collateral. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For securities lending transactions, see Note 4. At June 30, 2026, the Fund had no Repurchase Agreements outstanding.

 

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Fund has determined that no material events or transactions occurred through the issuance date of the Fund’s financial statements which require an additional disclosure in or adjustment of the Fund’s financial statements.

AMG Veritas Asia Pacific Fund: Approval of Investment Management Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement on June 3, 2026

 

At a meeting held on May 27, 2026, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of AMG Funds III (the “Trust”) considered, and at a meeting held in-person on June 3, 2026, the Board, and separately a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trust (the “Independent Trustees”), approved (i) the Investment Management Agreement, as amended pursuant to letter agreements at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) for AMG Veritas Asia Pacific Fund (the “Fund”) and separately each of Amendment No. 1 thereto dated July 1, 2015, and Amendment No. 2 thereto dated October 1, 2016 (collectively, the “Investment Management Agreement”); and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to the Fund, as amended at any time prior to the date of the meeting (the “Subadvisory Agreement”), with Veritas Asset Management LLP, the Fund’s subadviser (the “Subadviser”). The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment Management Agreement and Subadvisory Agreement, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to the Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, including the nature, extent and quality of services, comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds for the Fund (the “Peer Group”), performance information for the relevant benchmark index for the Fund (the “Fund Benchmark”), other relevant matters, including management fees, the profitability of the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Funds, and other information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.

 

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

 

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information provided by the

 

     Investment Manager at the May 27, 2026 and June 3, 2026 meetings and prior meetings relating to the Investment Manager’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, information about its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager in Board meetings relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Fund and the Trustees’ knowledge of the Investment Manager’s management and the quality of the performance of the Investment Manager’s duties under the Investment Management Agreement and Administration Agreement. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Manager, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the operation and management of the Fund; (b) the quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the performance by the Subadviser of its portfolio management duties; (c) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise the Fund’s other service providers; and (d) the Investment Manager’s compliance program. The Trustees also took into account that, in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser, the Investment Manager: performs periodic detailed analyses and reviews of the performance by the Subadviser of its obligations to the Fund, including without limitation, analysis and review of portfolio and other compliance matters and review of the Subadviser’s investment performance with respect to the Fund; prepares and presents periodic reports to the Board regarding the investment performance of the Subadviser and other information regarding the Subadviser, at such times and in such forms as the Board may reasonably request; reviews and considers any changes in the personnel of the Subadviser responsible for performing the Subadviser’s obligations and makes appropriate reports to the Board; reviews and considers any changes in the ownership or senior management of the Subadviser and makes appropriate reports to the Board; performs periodic in-person, telephonic or videoconference diligence meetings, including with respect to compliance matters, with representatives of the Subadviser; assists the Board and management of the Trust in developing and reviewing information with respect to the initial approval of the Subadvisory Agreement and annual consideration of the Subadvisory      

Agreement thereafter; prepares recommendations with respect to the continued retention of the Subadviser or the replacement of the Subadviser, including at the request of the Board; identifies potential successors to, or replacements of, the Subadviser or potential additional subadvisers, including performing appropriate due diligence, and developing and presenting to the Board a recommendation as to any such successor, replacement, or additional subadviser, including at the request of the Board; designates and compensates from its own resources such personnel as the Investment Manager may consider necessary or appropriate to the performance of its services; and performs such other review and reporting functions as the Board shall reasonably request consistent with the Investment Management Agreement and applicable law. The Trustees noted the affiliation of the Subadviser with the Investment Manager, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Investment Manager with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Investment Management Agreement and the Investment Manager’s undertaking to maintain a contractual expense limitation for the Fund. The Trustees also considered the Investment Manager’s risk management processes.

 

The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Subadviser’s operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (its “Investment Strategy”) used in managing the Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding the Subadviser’s organizational and management structure and the Subadviser’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals at the Subadviser with portfolio management responsibility for the Fund, including the information set forth in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the services rendered by the Subadviser in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadviser’s personnel; and (c) the Subadviser’s compliance program. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Subadviser with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered the Subadviser’s risk management processes.

PERFORMANCE

 

The Board considered the Fund’s net performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Fund’s Peer Group and Fund Benchmark and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about both the Fund’s performance results and portfolio composition, as well as the Subadviser’s Investment Strategy. The Board was mindful of the Investment Manager’s expertise, resources and attention to monitoring the Subadviser’s performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance with respect to the Fund and its discussions with the management of the Fund’s subadviser during the period regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Fund. The Board considered information relating to the gross performance of the Fund as compared to the Subadviser’s relevant performance composite that utilizes a similar investment strategy and approach.

 

Among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class N shares (which share class has the earliest inception date and the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2026, was above, above, below, and above, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and above, above, below, and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the MSCI AC Asia Pacific ex Japan Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the Fund’s recent significant outperformance relative to the Fund Benchmark and the fact that the Fund ranked in the top decile of its Peer Group for the 1-year period and in the top third of it its Peer Group for the 3-year and 10-year periods. The Trustees also took into account the fact that the Fund’s subadviser, investment strategy, and Fund Benchmark changed effective March 19, 2021, and that the performance information prior to that date reflected that of the Fund’s prior subadvisers and investment strategy. It was noted that while the Trustees found the Peer Group comparisons generally useful, they recognized their limitations, including that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection and size of the Peer Group and its composition over time. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory.

    

ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEES; FUND EXPENSES; PROFITABILTY; AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE

 

In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information provided by the Investment Manager at the May 27, 2026 and June 3, 2026 meetings and prior meetings setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect (including any so-called “fallout benefits” such as reputational value derived from the Investment Manager serving as Investment Manager to the Fund), received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates attributable to managing the Fund and all the mutual funds in the AMG Funds Family of Funds; the cost of providing such services; the significant risks undertaken as Investment Manager and sponsor of the Fund, including investment, operational, enterprise, entrepreneurial, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks; and the resulting profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees also considered the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Investment Manager after payment of the subadvisory fee with respect to the Fund. The Trustees also noted payments are made from the Subadviser to the Investment Manager, and other payments are made from the Investment Manager to the Subadviser. The Trustees also considered management’s discussion of the current asset level of the Fund, and the impact on profitability of both the current asset level and any future growth of assets of the Fund.

 

In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Investment Manager under the Investment Management Agreement and the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with the Fund, the Trustees noted the undertaking by the Investment Manager to maintain a contractual expense limitation for the Fund. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the advisory fee structure, and the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Investment Manager is reasonable and that the Investment Manager is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory fee at this time.

     

Also, with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as the Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.

 

In considering the reasonableness of the subadvisory fee payable by the Investment Manager to the Subadviser, the Trustees reviewed information regarding the cost to the Subadviser of providing subadvisory services to the Fund and the resulting profitability from the relationship. The Trustees noted that, because the Subadviser is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, a portion of the Subadviser’s revenues or profits might be shared directly or indirectly with the Investment Manager. The Trustees also noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the subadvisory fee structure, and the services the Subadviser provides in performing its functions under the Subadvisory Agreement. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Subadviser is reasonable and that the Subadviser is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the subadvisory fees at this time. Also, with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as the Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.

 

The Trustees noted that the management fees (which include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) of Class I shares (the class of shares which is the primary focus of the Fund’s distribution) of the Fund as of March 31, 2026, were both rated in the Below Average rating level of the Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees noted that the rating level corresponded to the Fund’s quintile ranking in its Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2027, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.93%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with

ITEM 11. STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT
ADVISORY CONTRACT
(continued)

 

   

 

     

 

 

respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

 

* * * *

 

After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions (in addition to the conclusions discussed above) regarding the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement: (a) the Investment Manager

    

and the Subadviser have demonstrated that they possess the capability and resources to perform the duties required of them under the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement and (b) the Investment Manager and Subadviser maintain appropriate compliance programs.

 

Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and their related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative and with each

      Trustee not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Trustees concluded that approval of the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 3, 2026, the Trustees, and separately a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement for the Fund.

1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

AMG Funds and AMG Funds III (“Trust III”) (the “Trusts”) are open-end management investment companies, organized as Massachusetts business trusts, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Currently, the Trusts consist of a number of different funds, each having distinct investment management objectives, strategies, risks, and policies. Included in this report are AMG Funds: AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund (“Municipal Bond”) and AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund (“Municipal Enhanced”), and Trust III: AMG GW&K ESG Bond Fund (“ESG Bond”), each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”.

Each Fund offers different classes of shares. All Funds offer Class N shares and Class I shares; and Municipal Enhanced offers Class Z shares. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of the respective Fund. Although all share classes generally have identical voting rights, each share class votes separately when required by law. Different share classes may have different net asset values per share to the extent the share classes pay different distribution amounts and/or the expenses of such share classes differ. Each share class has its own expense structure. Please refer to a current prospectus for additional information on each share class.

The Funds’ financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), including accounting and reporting guidance pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies. U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates and such differences could be material. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements:

a. VALUATION OF INVESTMENTS

Fixed income securities purchased with a remaining maturity exceeding 60 days are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an authorized pricing service or, if an evaluated price is not available, by reference to other securities which are considered comparable in credit rating, interest rate, due date and other features (generally referred to as “matrix pricing”) or other similar pricing methodologies. Investments in certain mortgage-backed and stripped mortgage-backed securities, convertible securities, derivatives and other debt securities not traded on an organized securities market are valued on the basis of valuations provided by dealers or by a pricing service which uses information with respect to transactions in such securities and various relationships between such securities and yield to maturity in determining value.

Fixed income securities purchased with a remaining maturity of 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost, provided that the amortized cost value is approximately the same as the fair value of the security valued without the use of amortized cost. Investments in other open-end registered investment companies are valued at their end of day net asset value per share.

The Funds’ portfolio investments are generally valued based on independent market quotations or prices or, if none, “evaluative” or other market based valuations provided by third party pricing services. Pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under

the 1940 Act, the Funds’ Boards of Trustees (the “Board”) designated AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) as the Funds’ Valuation Designee to perform the Funds’ fair value determinations. Such determinations are subject to Board oversight and certain reporting and other requirements intended to ensure that the Board receives the information it needs to oversee the Investment Manager’s fair value determinations.

Under certain circumstances, the value of certain Fund portfolio investments may be based on an evaluation of fair value, pursuant to procedures established by the Investment Manager and under the general supervision of the Board. The Funds may use the fair value of a portfolio investment to calculate its net asset value (“NAV”) in the event that the market quotation, price or market based valuation for the portfolio investment is not readily available or otherwise not determinable pursuant to the Funds’ valuation procedures, if the Investment Manager believes the quotation, price or market based valuation to be unreliable, or in certain other circumstances. When determining the fair value of an investment, the Investment Manager seeks to determine the price that the Funds might reasonably expect to receive from current sale of that portfolio investment in an arms-length transaction. Fair value determinations shall be based upon consideration of all available facts and information, including, but not limited to (i) attributes specific to the investment; (ii) fundamental and analytical data relating to the investment; and (iii) the value of other comparable securities or relevant financial instruments, including derivative securities, traded on other markets or among dealers.

The values assigned to fair value portfolio investments are based on available information and do not necessarily represent amounts that might ultimately be realized in the future, since such amounts depend on future developments inherent in long-term investments. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material. The Board will be presented with quarterly reports, as of the most recent quarter end, summarizing all fair value activity, material fair value matters that occurred during the quarter, and all outstanding securities fair valued by the Funds. Additionally, the Board will be presented with an annual report that assesses the adequacy and effectiveness of the Investment Manager’s process for determining the fair value of the Funds’ investments.

U.S. GAAP defines fair value as the price that a fund would receive to sell an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. U.S. GAAP also establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and a three level hierarchy for fair value measurements based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability. Inputs may be observable or unobservable and refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Observable inputs reflect the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Funds. Unobservable inputs reflect the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability developed based on the best information available in the circumstances. Each investment is assigned a level based upon the observability of the inputs which are significant to the overall valuation.

The three-tier hierarchy of inputs is summarized below:

Level 1 – inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical investments (e.g., equity securities, open-end investment companies)

Level 2 – other observable inputs (including, but not limited to: quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in markets that are active, quoted prices for identical or

 

 

 

28


    

 

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

   

 

     

 

similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities (such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, prepayment speeds, loss severities, credit risks and default rates) or other market corroborated inputs) (e.g., debt securities, government securities, foreign securities utilizing international fair value pricing, fair valued securities with observable inputs)

Level 3 – inputs are significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions used to determine the fair value of investments) (e.g., fair valued securities with unobservable inputs)

Changes in inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may result in a transfer in or out of levels within the fair value hierarchy. The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments may not necessarily be an indication of the risk associated with investing in those investments.

b. SECURITY TRANSACTIONS

Security transactions are accounted for as of trade date. Realized gains and losses on securities sold are determined on the basis of identified cost.

c. INVESTMENT INCOME AND EXPENSES

Interest income, which includes amortization of premium and accretion of discount on debt securities, is accrued as earned. Interest income on foreign securities is recorded gross of any withholding tax. Paydown gains (losses) on mortgage-related and other asset-backed securities, if any, are recorded as components of interest income on the Statement of Operations. Other income and expenses are recorded on an accrual basis. Expenses that cannot be directly attributed to a Fund are apportioned among the funds in the Trusts and other trusts or funds within the AMG Funds Family of Funds (collectively, the “AMG Funds Family”) based upon their relative average net assets or number of shareholders. Investment income, realized and unrealized capital gains and losses, the common expenses of each Fund, and certain fund level expense reductions, if any, are allocated on a pro-rata basis to each class based on the relative net assets of each class to the total net assets of each Fund.

 

 

d. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Fund distributions resulting from net investment income, if any, will normally be declared and paid monthly by the Funds. Fund distributions resulting from realized net capital gains, if any, will normally be declared and paid at least annually in December. Distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Distributions are determined in accordance with federal income tax law, which may differ from net investment income and net realized capital gains for financial statement purposes (U.S. GAAP). Differences may be permanent or temporary. Permanent differences are reclassified among capital accounts in the financial statements to reflect their tax character. Permanent book and tax basis differences, if any, relating to shareholder distributions will result in reclassifications to paid-in capital. Temporary differences arise when certain items of income, expense and gain or loss are recognized in different periods for financial statement and tax purposes; these differences will reverse at some time in the future. Permanent differences for ESG Bond are primarily due to callable bond premiums. There were no permanent differences for Municipal Bond and Municipal Enhanced. In addition, temporary differences for ESG Bond and Municipal Enhanced are due to wash sale loss deferrals. There were no temporary differences for Municipal Bond.

At June 30, 2026, the aggregate cost for federal income tax purposes approximates the aggregate cost for book purposes. The approximate cost of investments and the aggregate gross unrealized appreciation and depreciation for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

Municipal Enhanced

     165,867,982        2,183,378        (8,063,007)        (5,879,629

 

e. FEDERAL TAXES

Each Fund currently qualifies as an investment company and intends to comply with the requirements under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income and gains to its shareholders and to meet certain diversification and income requirements with respect to investment companies. The Investment Manager has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken on federal income tax returns for all open tax years (generally, the three prior taxable years), and has concluded that no provision for federal income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements. Additionally, the Investment Manager is not aware of any tax position for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefit/detriment will change materially in the next twelve months.

Furthermore, based on each Fund’s understanding of the tax rules and rates related to income, gains and transactions for the foreign jurisdictions in which it

invests, each Fund will provide for foreign taxes, and where appropriate, deferred foreign taxes.

f. CAPITAL LOSS CARRYOVERS AND DEFERRALS

As of December 31, 2025, the Funds had capital loss carryovers for federal income tax purposes as shown in the following chart. These amounts may be used to offset future realized capital gains indefinitely, and retain their character as short-term and/or long-term.

g. CAPITAL STOCK

Each of AMG Funds’ Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Trust III’s Declaration of Trust authorizes for each applicable Fund the issuance of an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest, without par value. Each Fund records sales and repurchases of its capital stock on the trade date.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026 (unaudited) and the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, the capital stock transactions by class for the Funds were as follows:

h. REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS AND JOINT REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

The Funds may enter into third-party and bilateral repurchase agreements for temporary cash management purposes and, with respect to ESG Bond, for reinvestment of cash collateral on securities lending transactions under the securities lending program offered by The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNYM”) (the

“Securities Lending Program”) (collectively, “Repurchase Agreements”). The value of the underlying collateral, including accrued interest, must equal or exceed the value of the Repurchase Agreements during the term of the agreement. For joint repurchase agreements, ESG Bond participates on a pro rata basis with other clients of BNYM in their share of the underlying collateral under such joint

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

   

 

     

 

repurchase agreements and in their share of proceeds from any repurchase or other disposition of the underlying collateral. The underlying collateral for all Repurchase Agreements is held by the Funds’ custodian or at the Federal Reserve Bank. If the seller defaults and the value of the collateral declines, or if bankruptcy proceedings commence with respect to the seller of the security, realization of the collateral by the Funds may be delayed or limited. Pursuant to the Securities Lending Program, ESG Bond is indemnified for such losses by BNYM on joint repurchase agreements.

At June 30, 2026, the market value of Repurchase Agreements outstanding for ESG Bond, Municipal Bond and Municipal Enhanced was $5,541,946, $39,999,000 and $3,764,000, respectively.

i. DELAYED DELIVERY TRANSACTIONS AND WHEN-ISSUED SECURITIES

The Funds may enter into securities transactions on a delayed delivery or when issued basis. Payment and delivery may take place after the customary settlement period for that security. The price of the underlying securities and the date when the securities will be delivered and paid for are fixed at the time the transaction is negotiated. During the time a delayed delivery sell is outstanding, the contract is marked to market daily and equivalent deliverable securities are held for the transaction. The value of the securities purchased on a delayed delivery or when-issued basis are identified as such in each Fund’s Schedule of Portfolio Investments. With respect to purchase commitments, the Funds identify securities as segregated in their records with a value at least equal to the amount of the commitment. Delayed delivery or when-issued securities that have been purchased from and sold to different brokers are reflected as an investment in securities and a forward sale commitment in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For financial reporting purposes, the Fund does not offset the receivable and payable for delayed delivery investments purchased and sold. Losses may arise due to changes in the value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract, or if the issuer does not issue the securities due to political, economic, or other factors.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, Municipal Bond entered into securities transactions on a delayed delivery or when issued basis. At June 30, 2026, the market value of delayed delivery securities held in the Fund amounted to $75,135,012.

2. AGREEMENTS AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

For each of the Funds, the Trusts have entered into investment advisory agreements under which the Investment Manager, a subsidiary and the U.S. wealth platform of Affiliated Managers Group, Inc. (“AMG”), serves as investment manager to the Funds and is responsible for the Funds’ overall administration and operations. The Investment Manager selects and recommends, subject to the approval of the Boards and, in certain circumstances, shareholders, the subadviser for the Funds and monitors the subadviser’s investment performance, security holdings and investment strategies. Each Fund’s investment portfolio is managed by GW&K Investment Management, LLC (“GW&K”), who serves as subadviser pursuant to a subadvisory agreement with the Investment Manager. AMG indirectly owns a majority interest in GW&K.

Investment management fees are paid directly by the Funds to the Investment Manager based on average daily net assets. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Funds’ investment management fees were paid at the following annual rates of each Fund’s respective average daily net assets:

 ESG Bond

     0.23

 Municipal Bond

     0.21 %1 

  on first $25 million

     0.35

  on next $25 million

     0.30

  on next $50 million

     0.25

  on balance over $100 million

     0.20

 Municipal Enhanced

     0.45

1 The rate shown is the effective rate as of June 30, 2026.

The fee paid to GW&K for its services as subadviser is paid out of the fee the Investment Manager receives from each Fund and does not increase the expenses of each Fund.

The Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through at least May 1, 2027, to waive management fees and/or pay or reimburse fund expenses in order to limit total annual Fund operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of taxes, interest (including interest incurred in connection with bank and custody overdrafts, and in connection with securities sold short), shareholder servicing fees, distribution and service (12b-1) fees, brokerage commissions and other transaction costs, dividends payable with respect to securities sold short, acquired fund fees and expenses and extraordinary expenses) of ESG Bond, Municipal Bond and Municipal Enhanced to the annual rate of 0.43%, 0.34% and 0.59%, respectively, of each Fund’s average daily net assets (this annual rate or such other annual rate that may be in effect from time to time, the “Expense Cap”), subject to later reimbursement by the Funds in certain circumstances.

In general, for a period of up to 36 months after the date any amounts are paid, waived or reimbursed by the Investment Manager, the Investment Manager may recover such amounts from a Fund, provided that such repayment would not cause the Fund’s total annual operating expenses after fee waiver and expense reimbursements (exclusive of the items noted in the parenthetical above) to exceed either (i) the Expense Cap in effect at the time such amounts were paid, waived or reimbursed, or (ii) the Expense Cap in effect at the time of such repayment by the Fund.

The contractual expense limitation may only be terminated in the event the Investment Manager or a successor ceases to be the investment manager of a Fund or a successor fund, by mutual agreement between the Investment Manager and the Board, or in the event of a Fund’s liquidation unless the Fund is reorganized or is a party to a merger in which the surviving entity is successor to the accounting and performance information of a Fund.

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Investment Manager’s expense reimbursements, and repayments of prior reimbursements by the Funds to the Investment Manager, if any, are as follows:

 

     Expense

The Trusts, on behalf of the Funds, have entered into an amended and restated Administration Agreement under which the Investment Manager serves as the Funds’ administrator (the “Administrator”) and is responsible for certain aspects of managing the Funds’ operations, including administration and shareholder services to each Fund. Each Fund pays a fee to the Administrator at the rate of 0.15% per annum of the Fund’s average daily net assets for this service.

The Funds are distributed by AMG Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Investment Manager. The Distributor serves as the distributor and underwriter for each Fund and is a registered broker-dealer and member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”). Shares of each Fund will be continuously offered and will be sold directly to prospective purchasers and through brokers, dealers or other financial intermediaries who have executed selling agreements with the Distributor. Generally, the Distributor bears all or a portion of the expenses of providing services pursuant to the distribution agreement, including the payment of the expenses relating to the distribution of prospectuses for sales purposes and any advertising or sales literature.

AMG Funds has adopted a distribution and service plan (the “Plan”) with respect to the Class N shares, in accordance with the requirements of Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act and the requirements of the applicable rules of FINRA regarding asset-based sales charges. Pursuant to the Plan, Municipal Bond and Municipal Enhanced may make payments to the Distributor for its expenditures in financing any activity primarily intended to result in the sale of each Fund’s Class N shares and for maintenance and personal service provided to existing shareholders of that class. The Plan authorizes payments to the Distributor up to 0.25% annually of Municipal Bond and Municipal Enhanced average daily net assets attributable to the Class N shares. The portion of payments made under the plan by Class N shares of Municipal Bond and Municipal Enhanced for shareholder servicing may not exceed an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net asset value of each Fund’s shares of that class owned by clients of such broker, dealer or financial intermediary.

For each of Class N and Class I shares of ESG Bond, Municipal Bond and Municipal Enhanced, the Board has approved reimbursement payments to the Investment Manager for shareholder servicing expenses (“shareholder servicing fees”) incurred. Shareholder servicing fees include payments to financial intermediaries, such as broker-dealers (including fund supermarket platforms), banks, and trust companies who provide shareholder recordkeeping, account servicing and other services. The Class N and Class I shares may reimburse the Investment Manager for the actual amount incurred up to a maximum annual rate of each Class’s average daily net assets as shown in the table below.

The impact on the annualized expense ratios for the six months ended June 30, 2026, was as follows:

 Fund    Maximum Annual
Amount
Approved
     Actual 
Amount

The Board provides supervision of the affairs of the Trusts and other trusts within the AMG Funds Family. The Trustees of the Trusts who are not affiliated with the Investment Manager receive an annual retainer and per meeting fees for regular, special and telephonic meetings, and they are reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred while carrying out their duties as Board members. The Chairman of the Board and the Audit Committee Chair receive additional annual retainers. Certain Trustees and Officers of the Funds are Officers and/or Directors of the Investment Manager, AMG and/or the Distributor.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) granted an exemptive order that permits certain eligible funds in the AMG Funds Family to lend and borrow money for certain temporary purposes directly to and from other eligible funds in the AMG Funds Family. Participation in this interfund lending program is voluntary for both the borrowing and lending funds, and an interfund loan is only made if it benefits each participating fund. The Administrator manages the program according to procedures approved by the Board, and the Board monitors the operation of the program. An interfund loan must comply with certain conditions set out in the exemptive order, which are designed to assure fairness and protect all participating funds. The interest earned and interest paid on interfund loans are included on the Statement of Operations as interest income and interest expense, respectively. At June 30, 2026, the Funds had no interfund loans outstanding.

4. PORTFOLIO SECURITIES LOANED

ESG Bond participates in the Securities Lending Program providing for the lending of securities to qualified borrowers. Securities lending income includes earnings of such temporary cash investments, plus or minus any rebate to a borrower. These earnings (after any rebate) are then divided between BNYM, as a fee for its services under the Securities Lending Program, and the Fund, according to agreed-upon rates. Collateral on all securities loaned is accepted in cash, U.S. Treasury Obligations or U.S. Government Agency Obligations. Collateral is maintained at a minimum level of 102% (105% in the case of certain foreign securities) of the market value, plus interest, if applicable, of investments on loan. It is the Fund’s policy to obtain additional collateral from or return excess collateral to the borrower by the end of the next business day, following the valuation date of the securities loaned. Therefore, the value of the collateral held may be temporarily less than the value of the securities on loan. Lending securities entails a risk of loss to the Fund if and to the extent that the market value of the securities loaned were to increase and the borrower did not increase the collateral accordingly, and the borrower fails to return the securities. Under the terms of the Securities Lending Program, the Fund is indemnified for such losses by BNYM. Cash collateral is held in separate omnibus accounts managed by BNYM, who is authorized to exclusively enter into joint repurchase agreements for that cash collateral. Securities collateral is held in separate omnibus accounts managed by BNYM and cannot be sold or pledged. BNYM bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the cash collateral available for return to the borrower due to any loss on the collateral invested. Loans of securities are terminable at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities as soon as practical, which is normally within three business days.

The value of securities loaned on positions held, cash collateral and securities collateral received at June 30, 2026, was as follows:

5. SEGMENT REPORTING

Each Fund operates through a single operating and reporting segment to achieve its investment objective as reflected in each Fund’s prospectus. The Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODM”) are the Funds’ president and chief financial officer. The CODM assesses the performance and makes operating decisions for each Fund primarily based on each Fund’s changes in net assets resulting from operations. In addition to other factors and metrics, the CODM utilizes each Fund’s net assets, total return, and ratios of net and gross expenses to average net assets as key metrics in reviewing the performance of each Fund. As each Fund’s operations comprise a single reporting segment, the segment assets are reflected on the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities as “Total assets” and the significant segment expenses are listed on the Statement of Operations.

6. FUND RISKS

In the normal course of business, the Funds invest in securities or other instruments and may enter into certain transactions, and such activities subject the Funds to various risks. Below is a summary of some, but not all, of those risks. Each risk described below does not necessarily apply to each Fund. Please refer to each Fund’s prospectus for a description of the principal risks associated with investing in a particular Fund. The value of securities or other instruments may also be affected by various factors, including, without limitation: (i) the general economy; (ii) the overall market as well as local, regional or global political and/or social instability; or (iii) price fluctuations.

Asset-Backed and Mortgage-Backed Securities Risk: Investments in asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities involve risk of severe credit downgrades, loss due to prepayments that occur earlier or later than expected, illiquidity and default.

Changing Distribution Level Risk: The Funds will normally receive income which may include interest, dividends and/or capital gains, depending upon its investments. The distribution amount paid by a Fund will vary and generally depends on the amount of income a Fund earns (less expenses) on its portfolio holdings, and capital gains or losses it recognizes. A decline in a Fund’s income or net capital gains arising from its investments may reduce its distribution level.

Credit and Counterparty Risk: The issuer of bonds or other debt securities or a counterparty to a derivatives contract (including over-the-counter counterparties as well as brokers and clearinghouses in respect of exchange-traded and/or cleared products) may be unable or unwilling, or may be perceived as unable or unwilling, to make timely interest, principal or settlement payments or otherwise honor its obligations. Changes in an issuer’s financial strength, credit rating or the market’s perception of an issuer’s creditworthiness may also affect the value of a Fund’s investment in that issuer.

Debt Securities Risk: The value of a debt security changes in response to various factors, including, for example, market-related factors, such as changes in interest rates or changes in the actual or perceived ability of an issuer to meet its obligations. Investments in debt securities are subject to, among other risks, credit risk, interest rate risk, extension risk, prepayment risk and liquidity risk.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

 

   

 

     

 

ESG Investing Risk: Because applying a Fund’s ESG investment criteria may result in the selection or exclusion of securities of certain issuers for reasons other than financial performance, a Fund’s investment returns may underperform funds that do not incorporate ESG factors into their investment process. The incorporation of ESG criteria into the investment process may affect a Fund’s investment exposure to certain companies, sectors, regions, countries or types of investments, which could negatively impact a Fund’s performance depending on whether such investments are in or out of favor. Applying ESG criteria to investment decisions is qualitative and subjective by nature, and there is no guarantee that the criteria utilized by GW&K or any judgment exercised by GW&K will improve the financial performance of a Fund or reflect the beliefs or values of any particular investor. ESG standards differ by region and industry, and a company’s ESG practices or GW&K’s assessment of a company’s ESG practices may change over time. GW&K’s evaluation of a company also may be dependent on the availability of timely, complete and accurate ESG data reported by issuers and/or third party data providers. Different methodologies may be used by the various issuers and third party sources that provide ESG data, and such ESG data often lacks standardization, consistency and transparency.

Extension Risk: During periods of rising interest rates, a debtor may pay back a bond or other fixed income security slower than expected or required, and the value of such security may fall.

High Yield Risk: Below investment grade debt securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as “junk bonds” or “high yield securities”) may be subject to greater levels of interest rate, credit, liquidity, and market risk than higher-rated securities. These securities are considered predominately speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to make principal and interest payments.

Inflation/Deflation Risk: Inflation risk is the risk that the value of assets or income from investments will be worth less in the future. Inflation rates may change frequently and drastically as a result of various factors and the Funds’ investments may not keep pace with inflation, which may result in losses to the Funds’ investors or adversely affect the real value of shareholders’ investments in the Funds. As inflation rates increase, fixed income securities markets may experience heightened levels of interest rate volatility and liquidity risk. Deflation risk is the risk that the prices throughout the economy decline over time – the opposite of inflation. Deflation may have an adverse effect on the creditworthiness of issuers and may make issuer default more likely, which may result in a decline in the value of the Funds’ portfolios.

Interest Rate Risk: Fixed coupon payments (cash flows) of bonds and debt securities may become less competitive with the market in periods of rising interest rates and cause bond prices to decline. During periods of increasing interest rates, the Funds may experience high levels of volatility and shareholder redemptions, and may have to sell securities at times when they would otherwise not do so, and at unfavorable prices, which could reduce the returns of the Funds.

Liquidity Risk: The Funds may not be able to dispose of particular investments, such as illiquid securities, readily at favorable times or prices or the Funds may have to sell them at a loss.

Management Risk: Because the Funds are actively managed investment portfolios, security selection or focus on securities in a particular style, market sector or group of companies may cause the Funds to incur losses or underperform relative to its benchmarks or other funds with a similar investment objective. There can be no guarantee that GW&K’s investment techniques and risk analysis will produce the desired result.

Market Risk: Market prices of investments held by the Funds may fall rapidly or unpredictably due to a variety of factors, including economic or market conditions, or other factors including terrorism, war, natural disasters and the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, including epidemics or pandemics, or in response to events that affect particular industries or companies. In addition, unexpected political, regulatory, trade and diplomatic events within the United States and abroad may affect investor and consumer confidence and may adversely impact financial markets and the broader economy, perhaps suddenly and to a significant degree.

Municipal Market Risk: Factors unique to the municipal bond market may negatively affect the value of the Funds’ investment in municipal bonds. These factors include political or legislative changes, and uncertainties related to the tax status of the securities and the rights of investors in the securities. The Funds may invest in a group of municipal obligations that are related in such a way that an economic, business, or political development affecting one would also affect the others.

Prepayment Risk: A debtor may exercise its right to pay back a bond or other debt security earlier than expected or required during periods of decreasing interest rates.

Reinvestment Risk: The Funds may have difficulty reinvesting payments from debtors and may receive lower rates than from their original investments.

Sector Risk: Issuers and companies that are in similar industry sectors may be similarly affected by particular economic or market events; to the extent certain Funds have substantial holdings within a particular sector, the risks associated with that sector increase. A portion of certain Funds’ assets may be invested in fixed income securities that would tend to respond similarly to particular economic or political developments or the interest on which is based on revenues or otherwise related to similar types of projects. An example would be securities of issuers whose revenues are paid from similar types of projects, such as health care (including hospitals), utilities, or transportation.

U.S. Government Securities Risk: Obligations issued by some U.S. Government agencies, authorities, instrumentalities, or sponsored enterprises such as Government National Mortgage Association (“GNMA”) are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government, while obligations issued by others, such as Federal National Mortgage Association (“FNMA”), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“FHLMC”), and Federal Home Loan Banks (“FHLBs”), are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and are backed solely by the entity’s own resources or by the ability of the entity to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. If one of these agencies defaults on a loan, there is no guarantee that the U.S. Government will provide financial support.

7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Under the Trusts’ organizational documents, their Trustees and Officers are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Trusts. In addition, in the normal course of business, the Funds may enter into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties, which provide general indemnifications. The maximum exposure to the Funds under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against a Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Funds had no prior claims or losses and expect the risks of loss to be remote.

8. MASTER NETTING AGREEMENTS

The Funds may enter into master netting agreements with their counterparties for the Securities Lending Program and Repurchase Agreements, which provide the right, in the event of default (including bankruptcy or insolvency) for the non-defaulting party to liquidate the collateral and calculate net exposure to the defaulting party or request additional collateral. For financial reporting purposes, the Funds do not offset financial assets and financial liabilities that are subject to master netting agreements in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. For securities lending transactions, see Note 4.

 CONTRACT

 

 

AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund, and AMG GW&K ESG Bond Fund: Approval of Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements on June 3, 2026

 

At a meeting held on May 27, 2026, the Board of Trustees (the “Board” or the “Trustees”) of each of AMG Funds and AMG Funds III (each, a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”) considered, and at a meeting held in-person on June 3, 2026, the Board, and separately a majority of the Trustees who are not “interested persons” of the Trusts (the “Independent Trustees”), approved (i) the Investment Management Agreement, as amended pursuant to letter agreements at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with AMG Funds LLC (the “Investment Manager”) and AMG Funds for each of AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund and AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund, and separately each of Amendment No. 1 thereto dated July 1, 2015, and Amendment No. 2 thereto dated October 1, 2016; and the Fund Management Agreement, as amended pursuant to letter agreements at any time prior to the date of the meeting, with the Investment Manager and AMG Funds III for AMG GW&K ESG Bond Fund, and separately each of Amendment No. 1 thereto dated July 1, 2015, and Amendment No. 2 thereto dated October 1, 2016 (collectively, the “Investment Management Agreements”); and (ii) the Subadvisory Agreement with respect to each of AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund, and AMG GW&K ESG Bond Fund (each, a “Fund,” and collectively, the “Funds”), as amended at any time prior to the date of the meeting (collectively, the “Subadvisory Agreements”), with GW&K Investment Management, LLC, the Funds’ subadviser (the “Subadviser”). The Independent Trustees were separately represented by independent legal counsel in connection with their consideration of the approval of these agreements. In considering the Investment Management Agreements and the Subadvisory Agreements, the Trustees reviewed a variety of materials relating to each Fund, the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, including the nature, extent and quality of services, comparative performance, fee and expense information for an appropriate peer group of similar mutual funds for each Fund (each, a “Peer Group”), performance information for the relevant benchmark index for each Fund (each, a “Fund Benchmark”), other relevant matters, including management fees, the profitability of the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, and the potential for economies of scale that may be shared with the Funds, and other

       

information provided to them on a periodic basis throughout the year. Prior to voting, the Independent Trustees: (a) reviewed the foregoing information with their independent legal counsel; (b) received materials from their independent legal counsel discussing the legal standards applicable to their consideration of the Investment Management Agreements and Subadvisory Agreements; and (c) met with their independent legal counsel in private sessions at which no representatives of management were present.

 

NATURE, EXTENT AND QUALITY OF SERVICES

 

In considering the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information provided by the Investment Manager at the May 27, 2026 and June 3, 2026 meetings and prior meetings relating to the Investment Manager’s operations and personnel. Among other things, the Investment Manager provided financial information, information about its supervisory and professional staff and descriptions of its organizational and management structure. The Trustees also took into account information provided periodically throughout the previous year by the Investment Manager in Board meetings relating to the performance of its duties with respect to the Funds and the Trustees’ knowledge of the Investment Manager’s management and the quality of the performance of the Investment Manager’s duties under the Investment Management Agreements and Administration Agreement. In the course of their deliberations regarding the Investment Manager, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the extent and quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the operation and management of the Funds; (b) the quality of the Investment Manager’s oversight of the performance by the Subadviser of its portfolio management duties; (c) the Investment Manager’s ability to supervise the Funds’ other service providers; and (d) the Investment Manager’s compliance program. The Trustees also took into account that, in performing its functions under the Investment Management Agreements and supervising the Subadviser, the Investment Manager: performs periodic detailed analyses and reviews of the performance by the Subadviser of its obligations to each Fund, including without limitation, analysis and review of portfolio and other compliance matters and review of the Subadviser’s investment performance with respect to each Fund; prepares and presents periodic reports to the Board regarding the investment performance of the Subadviser and other information regarding the Subadviser, at such times and in such forms as the

          

Board may reasonably request; reviews and considers any changes in the personnel of the Subadviser responsible for performing the Subadviser’s obligations and makes appropriate reports to the Board; reviews and considers any changes in the ownership or senior management of the Subadviser and makes appropriate reports to the Board; performs periodic in-person, telephonic or videoconference diligence meetings, including with respect to compliance matters, with representatives of the Subadviser; assists the Board and management of the Trusts in developing and reviewing information with respect to the initial approval of each Subadvisory Agreement and annual consideration of each Subadvisory Agreement thereafter; prepares recommendations with respect to the continued retention of the Subadviser or the replacement of the Subadviser, including at the request of the Board; identifies potential successors to, or replacements of, the Subadviser or potential additional subadvisers, including performing appropriate due diligence, and developing and presenting to the Board a recommendation as to any such successor, replacement, or additional subadviser, including at the request of the Board; designates and compensates from its own resources such personnel as the Investment Manager may consider necessary or appropriate to the performance of its services; and performs such other review and reporting functions as the Board shall reasonably request consistent with the Investment Management Agreements and applicable law. The Trustees noted the affiliation of the Subadviser with the Investment Manager, noting any potential conflicts of interest. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Investment Manager with respect to its ability to provide the services required under the Investment Management Agreements and the Investment Manager’s undertaking to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds. The Trustees also considered the Investment Manager’s risk management processes.

 

The Trustees also reviewed information relating to the Subadviser’s operations and personnel and the investment philosophy, strategies and techniques (its “Investment Strategy”) used in managing each Fund. Among other things, the Trustees reviewed information on portfolio management and other professional staff, information regarding the Subadviser’s organizational and management structure and the Subadviser’s brokerage policies and practices. The Trustees considered specific information provided regarding the experience of the individuals at the Subadviser with portfolio

 

 

37


 ITEM 11. STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY

 CONTRACT (continued)

 

 

management responsibility for each Fund, including the information set forth in each Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees evaluated, among other things: (a) the services rendered by the Subadviser in the past; (b) the qualifications and experience of the Subadviser’s personnel; and (c) the Subadviser’s compliance program. The Trustees also took into account the financial condition of the Subadviser with respect to its ability to provide the services required under each Subadvisory Agreement. The Trustees also considered the Subadviser’s risk management processes.

 

PERFORMANCE

 

The Board considered each Fund’s net performance during relevant time periods as compared to the Fund’s Peer Group and Fund Benchmark and noted that the Board reviews on a quarterly basis detailed information about both a Fund’s performance results and portfolio composition, as well as the Subadviser’s Investment Strategy. The Board was mindful of the Investment Manager’s expertise, resources, and attention to monitoring the Subadviser’s performance, investment style and risk-adjusted performance with respect to the Funds and its discussions with the management of the Funds’ subadviser during the period regarding the factors that contributed to the performance of the Funds. With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund, the Board considered information relating to the gross performance of such Fund as compared to the Subadviser’s relevant performance composite that utilizes a similar investment strategy and approach.

 

With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class I shares (which share class has the earliest inception date and the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2026, was below the median performance of the Peer Group and below the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Municipal Bond BAA Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the reasons for the Fund’s underperformance relative to the Fund Benchmark and the Peer Group. The Trustees also took into account the fact that Class I shares of the Fund ranked in the top percentile relative to the Peer Group for the 2023 calendar year. It was noted that while the Trustees found the Peer Group comparisons generally useful, they recognized their

       

limitations, including that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection and size of the Peer Group and its composition over time. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory in light of the Fund’s investment objective, strategies, and policies, as well as overall market conditions.

 

With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund, among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class I shares (which share class has the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year, and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2026, was above, below, below, and below, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and above, above, below, and below, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Bloomberg 10-Year Municipal Bond Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the reasons for the Fund’s more recent outperformance. The Trustees also took into account the fact that Class I shares of the Fund ranked in the top decile relative to its Peer Group for the 1-year period and the 2025 calendar year and in the top half of its Peer Group for the 2023 and 2022 calendar years. It was noted that while the Trustees found the Peer Group comparisons generally useful, they recognized their limitations, including that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection and size of the Peer Group and its composition over time. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory in light of the Fund’s investment objective, strategies, and policies, as well as overall market conditions.

 

With respect to AMG GW&K ESG Bond Fund, among other information relating to the Fund’s performance, the Trustees noted that the Fund’s performance for Class N shares (which share class has the earliest inception date and the largest amount of assets of all the share classes of the Fund) for the 1-year, 3-year, 5-year and 10-year periods ended March 31, 2026, was below, below, below, and above, respectively, the median performance of the Peer Group and below, above, above, and above, respectively, the performance of the Fund Benchmark, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Trustees took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s performance, including the reasons for the Fund’s longer-term outperformance and more recent

       

underperformance relative to the Fund Benchmark and the Peer Group. The Trustees also took into account the fact that Class N shares of the Fund ranked in the top half of its Peer Group for the 10-year period and the 2023 and 2022 calendar years. The Trustees also took into account the fact that the Fund’s subadviser, investment strategy, and Fund Benchmark changed effective March 19, 2021, and that the performance information prior to that date reflected that of the Fund’s prior subadviser and investment strategy. The Trustees considered management’s discussion that the Fund’s performance has been in line with management’s expectations since the current Subadviser assumed subadvisory responsibilities. It was noted that while the Trustees found the Peer Group comparisons generally useful, they recognized their limitations, including that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the selection and size of the Peer Group and its composition over time. The Trustees concluded that the Fund’s overall performance has been satisfactory in light of the Fund’s investment objective, strategies, and policies, as well as overall market conditions.

 

ADVISORY AND SUBADVISORY FEES; FUND EXPENSES; PROFITABILITY; AND ECONOMIES OF SCALE

 

In considering the reasonableness of the advisory fee payable to the Investment Manager, the Trustees reviewed information provided by the Investment Manager at the May 27, 2026 and June 3, 2026 meetings and prior meetings setting forth all revenues and other benefits, both direct and indirect (including any so-called “fallout benefits” such as reputational value derived from the Investment Manager serving as Investment Manager to a Fund), received by the Investment Manager and its affiliates attributable to managing each Fund and all the mutual funds in the AMG Funds Family of Funds; the cost of providing such services; the significant risks undertaken as Investment Manager and sponsor of the Funds, including investment, operational, enterprise, entrepreneurial, litigation, regulatory and compliance risks; and the resulting profitability to the Investment Manager and its affiliates from these relationships. The Trustees also considered the amount of the advisory fee retained by the Investment Manager after payment of the subadvisory fee with respect to each Fund. The Trustees also noted payments are made from the Subadviser to the Investment Manager, and other payments are made from the Investment Manager to the Subadviser. The Trustees also considered

 

 

38


 ITEM 11. STATEMENT REGARDING BASIS FOR APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT ADVISORY

 CONTRACT (continued)

 

 

management’s discussion of the current asset levels of the Funds, and the impact on profitability of both the current asset levels and any future growth of assets of the Funds.

 

In considering the cost of services to be provided by the Investment Manager under each Investment Management Agreement and the profitability to the Investment Manager of its relationship with each Fund, the Trustees noted the undertaking by the Investment Manager to maintain contractual expense limitations for the Funds. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the advisory fee structure, and the services the Investment Manager provides in performing its functions under each Investment Management Agreement and supervising the Subadviser. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Investment Manager is reasonable and that the Investment Manager is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the advisory fee at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as each Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.

 

In considering the reasonableness of the subadvisory fees payable by the Investment Manager to the Subadviser, the Trustees reviewed information regarding the cost to the Subadviser of providing subadvisory services to each Fund and the resulting profitability from these relationships. The Trustees noted that, because the Subadviser is an affiliate of the Investment Manager, a portion of the Subadviser’s revenues or profits might be shared directly or indirectly with the Investment Manager. The Trustees also noted that the subadvisory fees are paid by the Investment Manager out of its advisory fee. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the subadvisory fee structure, and the services the Subadviser provides in performing its functions under each Subadvisory Agreement. Based on the foregoing, the Trustees concluded that the profitability to the Subadviser is reasonable and that the Subadviser is not realizing material benefits from economies of scale that would warrant adjustments to the subadvisory fees at this time. Also with respect to economies of scale, the Trustees noted that as a Fund’s assets increase over time, the Fund may realize other economies of scale to the extent the increase in assets is proportionally greater than the increase in certain other expenses.

       

With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Enhanced Yield Fund, the Trustees noted that the management fees (which include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) of Class I shares (the class of shares which is the primary focus of the Fund’s distribution) of the Fund as of March 31, 2026, were rated in the High and the Above Average rating level, respectively, of the Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees noted that the rating levels corresponded to the Fund’s quintile ranking in its Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2027, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.59%. The Board also took into account management’s discussion of the Fund’s expenses and competitiveness with comparably sized funds and select competitors. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

 

With respect to AMG GW&K Municipal Bond Fund, the Trustees noted that the management fees (which include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) of Class I shares (the class of shares which is the primary focus of the Fund’s distribution) of the Fund as of March 31, 2026, were rated in the Below Average and the Low rating level, respectively, of the Fund’s Peer Group. The Trustees noted that the rating levels corresponded to the Fund’s quintile ranking in its Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2027, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.34%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

 

With respect to AMG GW&K ESG Bond Fund, the Trustees noted that the management fees (which

       

include both the advisory and administration fees) and total expenses (net of applicable expense waivers/reimbursements) of Class I shares (the class of shares which is the primary focus of the Fund’s distribution) of the Fund as of March 31, 2026, were rated in the Below Average and the Average rating level, respectively, of the Peer Group. The Trustees noted that the rating levels corresponded to the Fund’s quintile ranking in its Peer Group. The Trustees took into account the fact that the Investment Manager has contractually agreed, through May 1, 2027, to limit the Fund’s net annual operating expenses (subject to certain excluded expenses) to 0.43%. The Trustees concluded that, in light of the nature, extent and quality of the services provided by the Investment Manager and the Subadviser (which is an affiliate of the Investment Manager), the foregoing expense limitation and the considerations noted above with respect to the Investment Manager and the Subadviser, the Fund’s advisory and subadvisory fees are reasonable.

 

* * * *

 

After consideration of the foregoing, the Trustees also reached the following conclusions (in addition to the conclusions discussed above) regarding the Investment Management and Subadvisory Agreements: (a) the Investment Manager and the Subadviser have demonstrated that they possess the capability and resources to perform the duties required of them under each Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement and (b) the Investment Manager and Subadviser maintain appropriate compliance programs.

 

Based on all of the above-mentioned factors and their related conclusions, with no single factor or conclusion being determinative and with each Trustee not necessarily attributing the same weight to each factor, the Trustees concluded that approval of each Investment Management Agreement and each Subadvisory Agreement would be in the best interests of the applicable Fund and its shareholders. Accordingly, on June 3, 2026, the Trustees, and separately a majority of the Independent Trustees, voted to approve the Investment Management Agreement and the Subadvisory Agreement for each Fund.
